Here’s a poem called ‘As I Grow Old I Will March Not Shuffle’.

I will be a nonagenarian nonconformist, armed with a ballpoint pen and a hand that shakes with rage not age at politicians’ latest crimes, in strongly-worded letters to The Times. I will be a centenarian centurion and allow injustice no admittance. I will stage longstanding sit-ins. My mobility scooter and I will move for no one. And when I die I will be the scattered ashes that attach themselves to the lashes and blind the eyes of racists and fascists. Brian Bilston

It’s considered to be the world’s oldest surviving love poem, written 1.5 million years ago by one of our earliest ancestors, homo unrequitus.
